I have made it common practice to move absolutely everything out of my school counseling office each year. I hope that at the end of this year I won't feel the need to do the same.

It is a lot of work to move everything out of my office and then move everything back in at the beginning of each new year.

Looking on the bright side, I enjoy setting up my space and taking time to make my room student friendly and engaging. This will be my second year in this office and I am excited to think of new ideas of how to decorate it.

Here are the before views of my office. I am working on setting things up this week. I can't wait to share new pictures once I finish decorating it for the 2011-2012 school year.

My friend, and fellow school counselor, Clare, sent me a picture text the other day from Target of this great $1 spot find!

Clare to picked one up for me and brought it to the professional development session we had today. On my way home from the professional development I stopped at Target. I couldn't resist buying a second copy of this puzzle!

Part of completed puzzle "Who will you be?"

This "Guess What I Do!" puzzle has so many possibilities. I plan to glue one of the puzzles with puzzle glue and possibly use it part of a bulletin board or career display. The second copy I am just going to keep in my office for students to put together.
